Chapter 93 93: I'll Show You Something
****
"He can see the future. So to win against him, I can only use my own cheating." Xu Shan commented, as he left the forest.
By now, he understood that the Book of Destiny couldn't see the changes caused because of the Book of Desires.
That's the only reason why he used the Book to get him a spy. If he had used money, or other treasures, it would've easily been caught.
Xu Shan entered the Royal City of Estel, which was already caught in a great battle.
It appeared to only be a matter of time before this place was going to fall. However, he didn't stay there.
Xu Shan only had one goal. It was to pass through the City.
Since he was a stranger, and not revealing his face, even the Soldiers of the Estel Kingdom tried to stop him.
Unfortunately for them, he wasn't in any mood to stop. Whoever tried to get in his path died, and their strength was stolen by him, leaving only their lifeless bodies behind.
He didn't have to hide himself anymore! If anything, he felt even more free!
With every passing hour, his strength increased even more. Soon, news started spreading that there was a masked person who was killing people of both sides in the Royal City of Estel.
Unfortunately, by then, Xu Shan had already left the Royal City.
It was also the time when the Royal Army of the Eternal Dynasty reached the city.
Slowly, yet steadily, the tides of battle started changing. Before long, the entire Royal City was protected.
Strangely enough, the Sky Dynasty warriors didn't fight. Instead, they simply retreated for the time being.
Back in the Battleship of the Sky Dynasty, the Third Prince was pacing back and forth in frustration!
"Those idiots, why aren't they back with the queen yet! Argh, they are delaying my plans!"
The ship of the Prince was protected by many powerful warriors, which made it impossible for anyone to sneak inside. In fact, it wasn't easy for even Xu Shan to enter that place.
Fortunately, he didn't plan on entering that place either. His intentions were something else.

Ye Han stepped out of the Ship, landing before the Royal Palace of Estel.
The Great Elder and the other Generals of the Dynasty also stepped down. Only Xu Shan was nowhere to be found. However, no one cared much about him.
They let him rest back at the ship. It was better if they kept him away from the battles after all, since the ships were safer.
The King of Estel personally came to welcome the guests from the Dynasty. His eyes were filled with gratitude for the reinforcements. The Royal City was saved, and it was just as he thought that everything was over!
While he was welcoming the guests, his eyes revealed a surprise as he saw his wife and his daughter in the back.
He rushed to his wife and his daughter, hugging them tightly.
Initially, he was worried that his family was going to be caught so he sent them away. But how that reinforcement was here, he felt glad that his family was back as well.
The King brought all the guests inside. For now, the battle was over, at least in the Royal City. Even though the main forces of the Sky Dynasty were still waiting not far away from them, the King felt much safer now.
"Are you the commander of the Royal Army, senior?" The King asked. Even though Ye Han was younger than him, he still addressed him as a great senior.
"I am not the commander. The commander is the Third Prince of the Dynasty, who is back at the ship."
"The Third Prince?" The King's expressions momentarily faltered. He had heard a lot about that guy after all.
Fortunately, he was an experienced man and controlled his expressions soon after.
"Why isn't His Highness coming out? I would love to welcome him as well."
Ye Han shook his head lightly. "For his protection, he will be staying on the ship."
Even though the King didn't reveal anything, deep inside, he couldn't help but sneer, thinking that Xu Shan was a coward.
However, he knew better than to disrespect the Third Prince in front of his people. "I see. Please extend my warmest welcome to him. We will make sure to provide everything they need during their stay."
Even the Princess looked down on the Third Prince of the Dynasty. Compared to the person who saved her, the cowardly Third Prince of the Eternal Dynasty only appeared like mud on the streets.
She didn't realize that the person she thought to be a coward was correctly far away from the Royal City.
Xu Shan was in the next City, where many battleships could be seen in the sky. This was where the main forces of the Third Army were waiting.
This city used to belong to the Estel Kingdom. It was the largest city after the Royal City of Estel. However, now it had completely fallen under the control of the Sky Dynasty.
Xu Shan managed to sneak inside the city, which was brimming with Soldiers of the Sky Dynasty. Although the Sky Dynasty destroyed every city in their path, but there were often cities that they left as that were, to use as their temporary bases along the way.
This city happened to be one of them.
The Citizens had already given up on any hope. No one resisted the Sky Dynasty, realizing that they were going to die if they even tried. If anything, most people had gradually adjusted to this life.
On the other hand, there were also many people who were scared and didn't even leave their houses.
Walking through the messy city, Xu Shan occasionally glanced at the battleships in the sky.
"It won't be easy to get there. Unless you use the Book again," Xinren suggested.
However, to her surprise, Xu Shan shook his head. "I have no intention of using my Desires, unless it's absolutely urgent."
As Xu Shan spoke, he remembered the scene that he had seen in his dream. For some reason, seeing that made him slightly concerned about his own future, making him even more careful.
"And as far as getting there is concerned, just watch. I'll show you something…"
